What I'm Reading: The Marrying Type

The Marrying Type, by Laura Chapman, was a delightful read. The heroine, Elliot Lynch, is a wedding planner in Charleston, SC. She's willing to do whatever it takes to save her family's business, including appearing on a reality TV show, "The Marrying Type," about couples planning their wedding and exchanging "I Dos." Hilarity often ensues as Elliot has to wrangle a fun cast of characters in order to get the bride and groom down the aisle. After all, what ever goes wrong at a wedding?

With the camera crew in tow, Elliot agrees to plan the wedding of the season--and it just happens to be that of her ex-fiance's sister. She hasn't seen Eric in eight years, but when he flies to town to help his sister plan her wedding, Elliot is torn by her feelings.

The Marrying Type is the perfect summer read!

Synopsis

Always the wedding planner, never a bride, Elliot Lynch is famous for
orchestrating the splashiest weddings in Charleston, South Carolina.
When her father’s sloppy management practices leave them on the brink of
bankruptcy, Elliot will do whatever it takes to save the family
business. When asked to appear on “The Marrying Type,” a reality TV show
about the people behind the scenes as couples exchange I dos, she says
yes to the invasion of privacy (and the hefty paycheck that comes with
it).

With a camera crew capturing every detail of her life, Elliot faces
her most challenging contract yet: planning a wedding where her ex is
involved in every part of the process. Add in a lazy assistant,
liquor-loving bridesmaid, and rival planner encroaching on her turf, and
Elliot’s wedding season goes from high-end to high-stress.

Forced to confront her past, Elliot must live out her troubled present on national TV if she has any hope of saving her future.
